Skeletonz mostly uses its own framework stack. This stack is quite simple and mimics other very known Python frameworks.

The old stack

Skeletonz started using following Python stack:

• CherryPy - Python web framework
• MochiKit - JavaScript framework
• SQLObject - Database binder (ORM)
• Textile - Text to HTML converter
• Cheetah Template

The new stack

As time went by the frameworks showed their limitations in size [MochiKit], perfomance [CherryPy], bugs and complexity [SQLObject and Textile]. To solve these issue we created following stack:

• AmiWeb - Mini CherryPy with a much better performance
• AmiJS - Mini MochiKit with mini size (around 20kb vs. 150kb of MochiKit)
• AmiDB - Mini ORM
• AmiFormat - Looks like textile, but without the bugs. 200 lines of code versus 3000 lines for textile.
• Cheetah Template
